Current mood: cheerful
Can these weeks slow down any?! It literally seems like yesterday that I wrote her weekly blog and yet here I am again... and there she is, another week older!
This week has gone by pretty smoothly with nothing much new to report, Surprisingly! She’s still being her ol' Mia self... playing on her play mat, jumping in her jump-a-roo and being her cute usual self as always. She has however, started this new thing. Its what I call her 'fake cough'. She isn't sick but she’s always coughing and she gets a kick out of the reaction I give her when she does it. I act like I am all shocked and she just laughs and smiles and coughs again. Its really cute.
She witness her first big rain storm this week and was always intrigued when I would bring her to the window to look out at the rain. Its my favorite time of the year so it was fun to get the fire place going and cozy up with Mia on the couch while watching our tv shows. She is out growing all her clothes so fast, that on super chilly days I just leave her in her warm jammies all day so that her legs and feet stay warm. She seems to like this, I think she sees it as some sort of treat!
She played her first interactive game with Mama this week too! She was sitting in her little vibrating papsan chair while I was getting her stuff ready for her nightly bath. There is this little bee that hangs above her head that she just LOVES to pull off and munch. This time I decided to play with her a little, whenever she would pull off that little bee, I would act all shocked and say 'Give me that Bee!!!' I would take it from her and hang it back up. She would pull it back off, look at me with a biggest smile like if to say 'Look at what I did Mama' so I would have to take it from her and put it back. We did this back and forth for a long time, each time she would grab the bee she would give me that smile with that look. It was really cute and fun.
The only bad thing that has happened this week is, she is still really constipated. We changed her formula to 'Good Start' and she seems to really like it. She drinks it better than she did the Similac Soy. Her consistent vomiting hasn't returned, however, her constipation has gotten worse. Now she is going longer without pooping and just recently (yesterday) when she did finally poop it caused her so much pain. I have never heard her cry out like that EVER. Even with her vaccinations she never cried as hard as she did when she was going to the bathroom. She had a really hard time.. poor baby. So I finally contacted her doc and let him know what was going on. He just got back to me now and said to give her an ounce of prune juice daily to help her along. He also gave me a regimen of how to up the dose if she doesn’t get better. I talked to my Sis in Law Lauren about this yesterday and she too recommended prune juice. So Adrian went to the store last night and picked up this tiny little bottle of baby prune juice. So I will give that to her after she wakes from her nap. Hopefully it will help. We are supposed to be getting our xmas tree today too later this afternoon so I am praying she doesn't decide to clean herself out there!!! Luckily the tree lot is only 5 mins from the house.
That’s about it, other than her little constipation problem everything is going good. I can't wait to xmas its just around the corner!! EEEK!
******** UPDATE**********
Well soon after I finished this blog Mia woke up and I decided to try that prune juice. So I busted out her little newborn bottle and poured an ounce in just like the doc ordered. We had the camera ready to see her reaction to her very first juice! She took the bottle right away and didn't seem to be bothered by the new taste. She didn't make any faces until we took it from her to check how much she ate... I guess it was the after taste because that’s the only time she sort of made a yuk face. But she finished it and drank her normal bottle afterwards. I guess it is all just a waiting game now... so far nothing has happened... we will see!
